Consider what I did/am doing as an alternative: Last summer I spent 90 days (June to September) exploring Canada & the USA going east ~~> to west, covering 14,000 miles from Halifax NS to San Francisco, CA. See my second blog-link below for a map of the ground I covered (top of home page).
My bike's been in hibernation since last September, stored in a friend's secure, dry barn for the last six months. I fly back to San Fran this coming Sunday, March-16, to start a 10-week - c. 10,000-mile - ride east and south back ultimately to New York City (Newark) from where we'll ship and fly home to the UK in late May.
So why not think about breaking your adventure into two separate rides? It's working for me ..
Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
